Innovative, challenging, and rewarding
Lots of hard problems to solve. Very little to no micromanagement. Brilliant colleagues. A place where serious engineers thrive, learn, and succeed. No red tape. Variety of options from distributed systems to cloud computing to devices and robotics. Every day is still Day One attitude is pervasive at Amazon, and that's a good thing. Above-average compensation.
The pace is very fast, and some people have a hard time adjusting.
Being vocally self-critical can be challenging for those not used to functioning in this type of environment.
Better benefits, especially maternity and paternity. The same goes for refreshments and snacks. These are now industry standard practices and they matter to some, especially new candidates.
